The Frisbie Baking company (1871-1958) of Bridgeport, Connecticut, made pies that were sold to many New England colleges. Hungry college students soon discovered that the empty pie tins could be tossed and caught, providing endless hours of game and sport.A Los Angeles building inspector named Walter Frederick Morrison produced a plastic Frisbie called the Pluto Platter, which went on to become the frisbee we know today.

Also, houseflies don't allow their short lifespans (14 days) to hinder their musical abilities. They always hum in the key of F.

<quoted text>I have a hard time believing a house can be worth 2 billion (Dollars?). An estate, with all its endowments, maybe. But not a physical house with its outbuildings and hardscaping. A little exaggeration.(gives color to this thread though, dont you think?)

I like to give things their right dimension.

First it's not a house but a residential complex with over 27 floors. The cost to build that residential complex was around $77 million (I presume dollars) in 2010.

Nowadays the land over that complex has increased and according to some speculation the value of that building arrived close to US$ 2 billions.

From the age.com .au 15 Oct 2010 (the year when the residential building was completed)"While the home cost about $77 million to build, Mumbai's growing property prices means Antilia is now estimated to be worth 15 times more - about $1 billion."

From Newyorktimes: 15 Jun 2008"(Although the price tag for the residence has drawn estimates as high as $2 billion, a Reliance spokesman said it would ultimately cost $50 million to $70 million.)"

<quoted text>According to this- the only metro area more expensive than our county is San Francisco.http://blog.ctnews.com/propertyrounds/2014/04...Million dollar homes make up less than 2 percent of the market in 44 of the nation’s 100 largest metropolitan areas, according to a new analysis released last month by Trulia. But here in Fairfield County, Connecticut, the rate is 15 times higher, making the area one of Trulia’s top million-dollar metros in the area.In total, 29.7 percent of Fairfield County listings on the real estate website are priced at or above $1 million, the analysis states.

Our house would be 4 times the value (at least) in G'ch. Maybe 5 times.

A million dollar house in G'ch is not a special house at all. You need to go more a like 1 1/2 for an average-looking house. My friends mom just sold her house in Riverside - nothing special - an immediate tear-down. 1.6 + million (but great location near Riverside School)

The NYTIMES' article that speaks about Ambani, at one point spend a few words about you or the character you portray yourself, here.

I'll report what it says:

"For generations, Altamount was a favored address for India’s Anglicized elite, a group British imperialists groomed in their own image. To a 19th-century British official, Thomas Babington Macaulay, they were “interpreters between us and the millions whom we govern; a class of persons, Indian in blood and color, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals and in intellect.”

As time went on, the elites were steeped in British culture, spoke with Oxbridge accents, pooh-poohed Bollywood films and danced only to British and American music. They dismissed those who spoke Indian languages at home as “vernies,” short for “vernaculars.”

Then, in the 1990s, Bombay changed its name to Mumbai, and Altamount was renamed S. K. Barodawalla Marg. Neither name has stuck with everyone, but the changes were part of an emerging movement to purge India of its colonial legacy.

Such changes accompanied the rise to power of a new class of Indians who want to live and work and raise their children in India, who are tethered to Indian values, food and popular culture and who are unapologetic about their indigenous tastes. The Ambanis are this class’s first family.

<quoted text>rabbee: are you claiming to know the tomorrow, better than G-D? or can you not see they are sleeping, on their bed of silver pins and golden needles now? are you falsely claiming, Yesrael is enjoying peace today??? are you playing without, any marbles at all?

<quoted text>You don't need to tell me about you jobs, since, even without you informing me about your former jobs, the stamp of a menial worker is on you.Anyway, best of luck.I truly wish you very well.
